Sure,some of the things he does could be accredited to his karate/kata training. Most of it is the same as other mma stars.

Now, when some mma guy ko's him, I don't want to hear it.

Hi Brian,

Hi Creative. I still have reason to beleive that you are a complete begginer. Doesnt matter we are all learning.

and Matt.

Gyaku zuki,= That could be duplicated by boxing technique

Age uke = I dont see many MMA,s using this in stand up? Could you show me a MMA star using age uke effectively in the/ or just before going in to a clinch?

Mae geri= can be duplicated.

This is the sequence that lead to the ko on the first video

That is reverse punch, upward block/ strike, and front kick for people who dont do karate.

So for none kata practioners who deem kata not worth while where do you see these techniques and in which kata and if you dont know then how can kata practice not be usefull in assisting with training?

For kata practioners in which kata would you say are those techniques?

And yes I can see where his kata training/ two man drill training would assist him to win fights.

I can also see J,Kogas,s input in to other threads about grappling where J, kogas,s input would help someone to win MMA fights.

So for a person wishing to win fights then why discount an element of training that increases the chances of winning?

No, don't kill it yet. This is my first post on the thread after lurking for a while and I need a few answers:

-is Creative actually a beginner or a soke?-what formal training does Jude do and has he done (classes, grades, length of training etc).-absolute, final, definitive answer on whether kata will help me become an MMA champion.

There are so many unanswered questions... Will Ridge ever settle down with Brooke? And why is 'abbreviation' such a long word? I'm afraid that the answers might forever be out of reach, as suggested by the great philosopher Jack Handey when he said:

Soke.

Quote:-what formal training does Jude do and has he done (classes, grades, length of training etc).

He could tell you, but he'd have to kill you.

Quote:-absolute, final, definitive answer on whether kata will help me become an MMA champion.

Kata will make you invincible.

But do you like pina colada? Getting caught in the rain? A photo would be nice.

Well that is some of them answered at least. The Pina colada (literally "strained pineapple" in Spanish) song-that is one bit of my miserable childhood I thought I had repressed forever but thanks for reviving it...

The song is meant to be about a "personals" column ad.

Lol! That must be the best line in this thread! I watched about 5 minutes of BB 15 years ago while I was in hospital. I watched it again for about 30 seconds the other day - and they're still there, apparently getting together and breaking up. Someone tells me their history goes back a couple of decades more. Sounds a bit like some people on this forum...
